    Mmmmmmmmm...

    That definitely isn't Energon animation. But from the looks of it, it's far from what I'd prefer. Maybe it'll look better in motion, but we'll see.

    Looks more like Animated, but slightly better.

    Are there hand drawn characters besides CGI robots? No? Then its not Energon style, to me.

    It's not energon style: Period.

    Sideswipe is smiling. He's leaning forward. He's not a brick.

    IE: Not Energon.

    They really should have stuck with the Prime animation, that was perfection. These seem painful.

    I need to see them in movement. That will be the deciding factor.

    The only difference between this and Energon, is that there's more movement.

    You guys are silly. CGI cell shaded animation =/= the atrocity that is Energon. In motion it looks more like Tron Uprising and characters can actually move and emote without swinging their arms and legs like ******s. I was hoping for traditional animation to make a comeback, but I'll settle for cell shaded that isn't garbage.

    Is there enough movement, though?

    Learned my lesson with TFA. Can't judge this until I start watching the series.

    I understand where people get the Energon vibe, however I personally feel it just has a generic anime look.

    It's the same animation studio as Prime (Polygon Pictures). So this is more or less an artistic choice.

    This isn't Energon levels of animation.

    Their's actual facial expressions and movement.


    It's like it for mixing 2D and 3D but that's it.

    I see what hes saying...

    Traditional "cell painted" style anime with CGI vehicles...

    Energon / Superlink was similar...


    With a style based off of TF: Prime...


    I'll watch it, though it cant possibly be better than TF: Prime (in terms of quality)...

    I prefer this animation over Energon any time. Don't tell me any different.
